Is there any news on that front? It seems that the 2WAD service past Bramalea is contingent on a full third track and periodic fourth passing tracks on the Halton Sub according to the 2021 Business Plan, but I haven't heard anything on that front while they seem to be otherwise progressing on...

7 New is too useful as a reelection tool for governing parties to actual finish the project. I predict it will remain in-progress for another 50 years at least. I just find it unbelievable that voters actual fall for this continual bate-and-switch.

They were flying before winter, and in the last two weeks, there have been signs of things starting to ramp up again. Hopefully they'll be back to their frantic pace we saw last year.

You can look at the 2016 Census coverage report to get a sense of how it varied across the country. There are actually significant differences between various cities, so comparisons between cities aren't necessarily meaningful on their own. It's my understanding that the trends tend to be more...

It's pretty bad when the transit service between Stratford and Kitchener is better than it is between Guelph and Kitchener. I can take a bus between Kitchener and Listowel several times a day, but I can't get to Hamilton or Brantford.

I don't think they've looked at widening between Cambridge and Guelph yet. AFAIK, the only remaining section that has been studied is the realignment of 6 around Morriston and a widening between the two 6s. I think it will still be some time before widening between Guelph and Cambridge and...

That's a rather, shall we say, creative interpretation of the origins of LRT in KW. In actuality, rapid transit was one component of a multi-pronged strategy to respond to projected growth in region. Of critical importance was the protection of the countryside line which was put in place to...

Which overpass do you mean?

Is it just me, or is the new span at the Grand River at a lesser grade than the existing spans? Perhaps the MTO intends to lower the grade on that hill, though it never struck me as being a particularly bad one.

I'm not disagreeing with your post, but why would train service to London be a prerequisite for opening up GO bus service to SWO? Waterloo/Wellington area warrant bus service to neighbouring areas now (Kitchener/Cambridge - Guelph, Guelph/Kitchener/Cambridge - Burlington/Hamilton notably), and...

The Kitchener Service Expansion business case outlines two scenarios for Silver Junction - the first would have no grade separation and a crossing on either side of Georgetown GO to allow the CN mainline to be disrupted by GO only once per hour in off-peak periods. The other scenario includes...

It is a measure of the divergence - "This divergence is measured as the number of units of length for a single unit of separation. In North America this is generally referred to as a switch's "number". For example, on a "number 12" switch, the rails are one unit apart at a distance of twelve...

Just to end the speculation, it's $8.5 million towards an expansion of the House of Friendship shelter in Kitchener.

I don't believe the station building exists in Paris anymore either.

This doesn't make sense to me - the signal gantry west of King Street is about 20m past the west edge of the bridge structure over King Street, but there are a number of stations along the Kitchener Line alone where the signal gantry is closer or similarly spaced, including west of Malton, east...

From what I can tell, they're completely rebuilding the express lanes.

The explanation in the replies, which seems reasonable to me, is that it will be staged. The single track will move onto the elevated portion first which will then provide room for them to finish the approach for the second track.

I'm wondering if they will be doing the plantings in the spring. Considering the Larch St. woonerf was only completed this fall (I think?) doing the planting at that time might not have given the plants enough time to establish themselves before winter?

Could this be addressed somewhat by having a higher density configuration on the lower level and a lower-density configuration on the upper level?

I'm quite impressed with the details they included on the new bridges for 6th Line and Trafalgar over the 401. I don't have any pictures, but there is a textured detailing along the length of the bridge, and both have inset coloured figures on the abutments (a butterfly on one and wheat sheaves...
